Re: Fake Ushakov Medals

Here's one out of a very large russian medal collection I currently have in my possession. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Re: Fake Ushakov Medals

Based on these I don't see any obvious problems. I would like to see a magnified section of the face and the star above it, as well as some magnified sections of the chain.

Re: Fake Ushakov Medals

Mike,

As for as I can tell from the pictures, it looks good.

Based on these, I can't tell if the suspension or the chain are genuine.

Re: Fake Ushakov Medals

Hello,

any oppinions about this Ushakov medal? Looks good to me. The last digit (1) looks a little bit strange.

best regards
Andreas

Re: Fake Ushakov Medals

Andreas,

Your pictures are not really tip-top...

I have seen this type of digit on other Ushakov medals. Overall I tend to like it, even though it seems to have had a rather rough life; just make sure that those are genuine signs of wear, and not of a cast medal.

Re: Fake Ushakov Medals

I agree with Marc - the medallion is most likely genuine, but better pictures are needed.

Not sure if you can help with the medallion - bad light, but maybe someone can say something about the suspension and chain.
Thanks,
Sergei
